This week, we are doing things a little different. One of our guests will be telling you her story – Rather, her brave grandson’s story. Meet Terra from North Carolina and her grandson, Breylon.  Breylon’s Story | Breylon was born at 24 weeks and weighed 1 lb. 4 oz., and although he is limited by vision, mobility, and cognitive ability, camping at Ocean Lakes has been a fabulous family vacation for Breylon and his parents. Breylon has cortical vision impairment, so his visual field is very close, but he does see those big trucks and campers! Grandma’s Hero | My grandson has Cerebral Palsy and he so enjoys riding the golf car around the campground. Breylon loves looking at other campers, he will often say, “big truck” or “big camper, two slides.” He loves playing at his campsite with his “racetrack.” Some of my greatest memories are of those watching him at Halloweekends. One year, he was a kissing booth that was attached to his walker, and he did get quite a few kisses that year!...
